only dave matthews can take a song about a one night stand, in which
you are hooking up with your best friend, causing both of you to be
cheating on your significant others, and make it sound romantic.
because this is dave there is a *lot* of chord play... i did *not* write it
all down. i've found that most people can't / won't read the transcriptions
anyway, and those who can actually read the transcriptions, don't need to
because they can figure it out for themsevles.
a hint though... he plays around with barre chords, a lot.
basic measures are these:
| AEDA | & | BmBmAD | & | AGDA |
intro
A - E - D - A (x10)
AE
so here we are tonight, you and i together
DA
the snow outside the fire bright
AE
oh and in your eyes i can see what's on my mind
DA
oh its this burning that's got me turning
AE
and fire burn on baby
DA
in my mind... outside
AE
so drink a glass of wine you'll feel better
DA
oh heavenly love, oh heavenly love
BmAD
oh say yeah, yeah tonight no place to go just want to hide
BmAD

BmA - E - D - A

DA

AE
oh not to pretend that i have not got a lover
DA

AE
so this trial turning and twisting
DA

I don't understand why you would waste your time to try and attempt tabbing this if you are so cynnical about the people that are going to read this.

For what it's worth, I couldn't find the song "Quick Lay" on the "Satellites of Love" album. I couldn't actually find the song anywhere on the DMB.com website.

Here is my tab for "Say Goodbye" by Dave Matthews Band:

Verse:

A E D A

Chorus:

Bm D A EThe chorus ends by holding the D.

A:e|-5-|B|-5-| Play this along with the CD and you'll hear the hammer-on.G|-6-| It is done by lifting the pinky off the D-string, 7th fretD|-7-| and putting it on the G-string, 7th fret and then releasing A|-7-| and playing the A chord again, just before switching to the E.E|-5-|

E:e|-0--|B|-0--|G|-13-| Slide up to this chord from the A.D|-14-|A|-14-|E|-0--|
